FIA suspends steward for Canadian Grand Prix over Verstappen penalty comments
Formula 1's governing body has suspended a driver steward for this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix over comments he made regarding a penalty Max Verstappen received two weeks ago. The FIA said Friday that Derek Warwick's comments were not authorized and he will be replaced by Enrique Bernoldi, who will officiate from the Remote Operations Centre in Geneva for the remainder of the weekend. 'After discussion, Derek acknowledges that his comments were ill-advised in his role as an FIA steward and has apologized,' the FIA said in a statement. 'Derek will resume his duties as a steward in the forthcoming Austrian Grand Prix.' Verstappen received a three-point penalty for running George Russell off track at the Spanish Grand Prix. The penalty put the four-time reigning F1 champion just one point away from an automatic one-race suspension. Warwick did an interview with a gambling publication in which he defended the penalty levied to Verstappen as the 'perfect' punishment because the Dutchman was 'absolutely wrong' in the contact with Russell. It is the second time this year the FIA has penalized a race steward. Johnny Herbert was let go in January as a steward because the FIA said his 'duties as an FIA steward and that of a media pundit were incompatible.' The FIA said the decision was made 'with regret.' Herbert at the end of the 2024 season gave several interviews to gambling sites, some related to high-profile decisions he was involved with in his role as a steward. He even had a public argument with Jos Verstappen, father of the four-time champion, after Verstappen was penalized in Mexico City for an incident with Lando Norris. Jos Verstappen alleged Herbert was biased and said 'the FIA should take a good look at the staffing of the stewards, who they put there and whether there is no appearance of a conflict of interest.' Herbert in turn criticized Verstappen's driving and called it 'over the top.' He also said Verstappen had developed 'a horrible mindset of trying to gain an advantage by taking a fellow driver off the race track.' The FIA determined Herbert had displayed impartiality and could no longer be a steward. Warwick, meanwhile, has apologized and the FIA has indicated his punishment is only for this weekend. ___ AP auto racing:

F1 steward suspended from Canadian GP after Max Verstappen penalty comments
The FIA announced Friday evening that steward Derek Warwick has been suspended from his duties for the remainder of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. Enrique Bernoldi, a former Formula One driver from the early 2000s, will replace him and officiate 'from the Remote Operations Centre in Geneva,' according to the governing body. Advertisement The move comes after Warwick, who competed in F1 from 1981 to 1993, made 'unauthorized media comments' recently, with reports surfacing earlier this week that the he spoke about a wide range of topics on the gambling site Plejmo, including about Max Verstappen's Spanish Grand Prix penalty that's placed the Dutchman one penalty point away from a race ban. 'Should it have been harsher? I think they got it about right, actually,' Warwick said to Plejmo about the FIA's 10-second penalty on Verstappen for causing a collision with George Russell in Spain. 'I think a lot of people would say he should have got a ban as an example to young karters, and they are probably right, but I feel the penalty was spot on.' 'You've got to look at each individual incident on their own merit. I thought it was very questionable. It's not what I like to see.' The FIA added in its statement, 'After discussion, Derek acknowledges that his comments were ill-advised in his role as an FIA steward and has apologised. Derek will resume his duties as a steward in the forthcoming Austrian Grand Prix.' This is not the first time that the governing body has taken action on stewards making media remarks in recent years. Last season, Johnny Herbert and the FIA mutually agreed his role as a steward was 'incompatible' with his media duties. He raced in F1 from 1989 to 2000 and later became a pundit for Sky Sports in 2012. He left the role in 2022 but remained an analyst, speaking with betting sites. He had made numerous public comments about incidents he oversaw as a steward, which raised concerns within the FIA. Driver stewards play a powerful role in an F1 weekend. While there have been calls for permanent stewards from time to time for consistency reasons, it remains a rotating panel, each race weekend consisting of four individuals. Race control typically notes when incidents happen, and it's the race director who sends it to the stewards. The final judgement falls with the stewards, who are akin to referees. The regulations give guidelines on what penalties are available; however, the stewards decide the infringements and sanctions. The bottom of each decision document states: 'Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently of the FIA and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.'

3-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer works his way back to rotation with Triple-A rehab start
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer topped out at 94 mph and threw 56 pitches on Friday night in his first Triple-A rehab outing since the Toronto right-hander suffered inflammation in his right thumb. Scherzer, 40, signed a one-year, $15.5 million deal with the Blue Jays in February. Scherzer left his debut start with the team against Baltimore on March 29 after three innings because of soreness in his right lat muscle. The next day, Toronto put Scherzer on the injured list because of inflammation in his thumb. Scherzer gave up two runs, struck out four and walked none over 4 1/3 innings in an anticipated start for Triple-A Buffalo against the Columbus Clippers. He waved in appreciation to a crowd that gave him a big ovation as he walked off the field. 'It'll be the most watched Triple-A game for a while,' Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. 'Or most uploaded Triple-A game.' Scherzer did allow a 425-foot home run to one of the top 100 prospects in minor league baseball, Columbus left fielder C.J. Kayfus. Schneider said ahead of Toronto's game Friday night in Philadelphia that the box score didn't matter to him. He wanted to make sure Scherzer came out of the game healthy. 'I want to see how Max feels tomorrow,' Schneider said. 'I could care less about the line score. I want to see 60-65 pitches. I want to see the fastball velo is good and he's coming out healthy.' Scherzer has had two cortisone injections this season to relieve inflammation in his thumb. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list last month, but became eligible to return May 29. Scherzer won World Series titles with Washington in 2019 and Texas in 2023. He won his first Cy Young Award after going 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA in 32 starts for Detroit in 2013. The eight-time All-Star earned consecutive NL Cy Young Awards with Washington in 2016 and 2017. Schneider said Scherzer would likely need one more rehab start before he can join the Blue Jays' rotation. The Blue Jays are in second place behind the Yankees in the AL East. 'The plan right now is to meet us here and probably throw a bullpen and then go back and do another one,' Schneider said. ___ AP MLB:
